What it does
Touch Controls lets you run a round from a touchscreen at your PC while GSPro plays on your projector. It puts GSPro's buttons on the touchscreen. Each button presses GSPro's own key, and GSPro stays in front on the projector the whole time. You get the buttons from the phone remote's four GSPro pages, Play, Shot, View and Pad, side by side on one screen. Touch Controls runs on your PC alone. It doesn't need the internet, a phone or the phone remote.
Before you start
- Connect your touchscreen to the PC and check that your taps land on that screen. If they land on another screen, first follow "Make your taps land on your touchscreen" below.
- Touch Controls presses keys only in GSPro, and only while GSPro is in front.

- Return to display settings, click the screen that was your main display and select "Make this my main display" again.
- Unplug the touchscreen's USB cable, wait 5 seconds and plug it back in. Your taps land on the touchscreen from then on.
